This is a great set up for the 911 so I can't see why it wouldn't be for the bug. But hey, I don't know.

Agreed. The 911 is in very simplistic terms a more powerful bug. The racing 911s all had IIRC wider rear than front tracks that stablised the straight line running.
If Steve C read my reply fully he will have noticed that I commented on the front suspension that was in addition to the subject of the thread. The WHOLE suspension design is important not just one end and I would have expected the front track to be increased in additon to the rear.
